Yo Ho!

Pirates of the Caribbean: Worlds End.

Well after 2:45 of sitting on my but I can say I actually enjoyed the latest POTC movie.   It still tried to do way too much stuff, but kept moving along with out too much wondering around the ocean.  At one point I was pretty sure I heard the original theme park ride sound track. They even managed to tie up all the points of the last movie.   I won’t give away the ending here, but I can say they way telegraphed another possible sequel, and I’m sure if the numbers are good enough it will come.  I just hope they try and do a better job on focusing one or two plots.

All in all one of the better movies I’ve seen in the theater lately.  I only wish the 3rd spidey movie was as good… heck i would have settled for half as good.

Mousetrap comming to a local community theater near me.

So moving back to Socorro, also met working in theater again. While I promised myself I would never “act” on stage again, I have no qualms about working behind stage. For this one I’m kinda the all around tech guy. After a bit of digging at various theater job titles,  I think I am most like a Grip. Infact I’ve been keeping pretty much all the tools they mentioned on my person for a while now.

Anyways if you are in the Socorro area the weekend of June 8 and like murder mystery plays performed in really old theater come on by.  For more information go here

We’re BACK!!!

The wait is finally over.. after much teeth grinding and a couple of holes in the new house, we should have a working web server again.(BTW I hate our new DSL modem)  Please send me a comment/note on status.
Quick recap:

  • NC house sold and gone(even got a check),
  • NM house now just about fully painted and in a color scheme I don’t hate.  Most of the Santa Fe elements are gone.
  • still about 1/3 of the boxes need to be emptied.

Still to do

  • Call heating and cooling guy to replace 30 year old furnace
  • Finish the guest bathroom kinda looks like hell right now.
  • Continue unpacking boxes and figure some way to get rid of all our empty boxes.
